WICKHAM HOUSE A spacious ground floor apartment. A quality holiday Home for 2.

Perfect in every way !

I cannot recommend this spacious holiday retreat highly enough - especially the more than adequate welcome package. It is in a quiet rural setting but close to all main towns and motorways. The rooms are beautifully furnished and every care has been taken by the owners to ensure a wonderful break for their guests, thank you, we will return soon I hope ! …

UR STAY Apartments 1 Bedroom Suite- Templar House

Really Nice Flat - Stayed for four months as part of Business Trip

I stayed in a really nice and modern flat as part of UR stay apartments in Templar House in for a period of four months. I was working in Leicester for business and did try other serviced apartments but this was by far the best. Really clean and quiet but in an ideal location right in the city centre. Pretty much everything was in walking distance incl. Tesco and lots of bars and restaurants. The flat is facing side street in the centre so nice and quiet...I got good nights rest each night. The flat has a nice décor and modern theme. It is extremely clean and gets high quality service once a week. I was really impressed with the Jacuzzi bath! Also TV has Netflix included as part of the set up and lots of other channels. Will definitely recommend and stay again if I travel to Leicester! …

The Victorian Barn

Relaxing break away from it all!

We had a fantastic stay at the Victorian Barn it far exceeded our expectations and we are looking to stay again soon!
Firstly the accommodation - The photos of the barn do not do it justice, it is beautifully appointed and had everything my young family (me, the wife and our 3 year old) could want. The barn comprises a large double high living area with open plan kitchen and dining areas, this open plan space looks out over fields through two large windows that really bring the outside inside. off of this space is a stair up to the twin room with ensuite toilet, a door leading to the double room with ensuite toilet and shower/wetroom, and a cupboard under the stairs. the main living space is a perfect place to snuggle up in the evenings and felt very cozy even though the weather wasn't great. The barn comes fully stocked with everything you could want and the scones with clotted cream were a really nice surprise!
Secondly the location - what you don't get from the photos is how secluded the barn is. In the past we have stayed at several cottages and they have always been on or in the grounds of a farm or house. this is not, the barn is surrounded by fields down a little country lane all on its own. so if, like us, you were looking to get away from it all it is perfect. that being said you are only 30 mins from Leicester so when looking for things to do there is plenty on offer (foxton locks and the space centre being highlights for us).
as I say it is a great place if you are looking to get away and unwind and we will definitely be going back soon! …

Lots of nice unexpected extras like cereals, board games and DVDs to keep you entertained. Rooms very comfortable all with en-suite. Wish we'd spent more time in the house during our stay. Would recommend. …
